Because he ran a little faster and had various auxiliary magics with him, Lin carried the two girls deep into the mine in one breath. When the sound of falling earth and rocks stopped coming from his ears, Lin slowed down his pace.
Then it stopped and put down the two apprentices.
In the process of running, Halumi had long forgotten to continue using the light spell. The three of them entered the tunnel without bringing torches, so they were now unable to see their fingers. And the reason why someone can still move freely is naturally because of the carvings.
The various observation magics on the Dream Magic Tower worked. Although you couldn't see it, you could clearly feel it with your senses.
However, even though he knew which way he could go, he was still not used to being unable to see. So Lin picked up his staff, chanted a spell with a pestle, and Tripwood's version of the bright light spell released a dazzling light.
The light illuminated the entire tunnel as bright as day without any shadows.
It was precisely because of the lighting that Lin saw his two apprentices sitting on the ground in disbelief with expressions on their faces.
"What's wrong? Are you injured? I don't think so." Lin looked at the two girls who he carried as sandbags and threw them on the ground. Because they ran early, the collapse of the tunnel entrance should be
No one was hurt. So is this broken expression because he was deceived?
Halumi hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Teacher, what just happened?"
"Well, those villagers collapsed the tunnel entrance."
"Why?"
"Well, he plans to kill us."
"But aren't we here to help them?"
"Well, are you sure they really need help?"
"But aren't there monsters in this cave?"
"Well, are you sure there are really monsters in this cave?"
"...Are they lying to me?"
"Well, isn't that obvious?"
"...and you discovered it a long time ago?"
"Well, that's not quite accurate. I did find something wrong, but I don't know why they did it and to what extent they would do it."
"So you found out and didn't tell us."
"Well, if I say it, you will listen. If I say it, you will just be unconscionable and say some deceptive things afterwards. No one has ever been young, so it is better not to lie. And the reason why I don't say it is, except
I just have suspicions. Without any definite evidence, I also believe that there is some pain. You have to experience it yourself to be impressed. Otherwise, even if I use the experience of others and warn you with all my sincerity, I will only be rejected. It is a waste of saliva.
, and you have to be annoyed by others, so why bother."
"So you just watched us walk into the trap and be trapped here...ah."
As expected, the two girls got into a state of nonsense. But after talking about it later, it seemed that Harumi himself would feel bad about it, so he couldn't go on talking. The entrance to the tunnel collapsed, so they were trapped.
There may be some positioning difficulties in flashing into the tunnel from the outside, but getting out from inside is a very simple matter for someone.
At the awkward moment when the blond girl couldn't speak anymore, Kaya seemed to come to the rescue and said, "What happened to us? My sister is asking."
Watching the girl with two braids operating the communication software in her glasses, Lin thought to herself that the movement in the tunnel finally woke up that person. However, there is this set of instant messaging software that dare not be spread outside, and the blocked tunnel
If the two parties are separated, they will not be unable to connect.
When an accident occurs, the most fearful thing is that someone does not understand the situation and messes around. So he said to Kaya: "Tell your elder sister about the situation here. Also, no one among us was injured."
Nodding, Kaya stretched out her hands and tapped her fingers in the air. This was the virtual keyboard that only she could see in her glasses.
After calming down, Halumi recalled what happened. At the same time, he asked: "Teacher, you said you found something wrong. Where was it? I think this place is very ordinary, there is nothing wrong with it."
"Leaving aside the crooked appearance of that group of people and the feeling they give people. The first thing that makes me feel strange is that there are no women or children here.──"
Halumi, who asked the question, and Kaya, who answered her sister, were both listening intently to Lin's explanation.
"──There are very few gathering places where people of only one gender gather together, and there are no children. Unless it is established for some special reason. And the second strange thing is that they
Attitude. It can be seen that most of them do not welcome us. But the old man who looks like the village chief wants us to stay, and his attitude is different from others. Why is this? It is not that we will not follow
If you work with people you hate, as long as there are enough benefits, personal likes and dislikes can be put aside for the time being. Then the question is, these villagers don't like us, and they want to keep us, what are the benefits?──"
Although he was explaining, Lin was also poking around here and there to explore the mine.
"─Third, the layout here is not like a village that mainly focuses on farming. If they don't farm, where does the food come from? Or ask, where do the goods that can be used to trade food come from? This question, in
After seeing this mine, there was an explanation. Maybe the old man only said that this was a cave and that there were monsters in it. But anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this was a mine, and it was not an old abandoned mine.
At the entrance of the hole and tunnel, the wooden pillars and shelves used to support the earthwork, and some tools thrown in the corner, these things all state this fact."
After touching the part of the tunnel, Lin led the two girls and carefully walked deeper into the tunnel. At the same time, he continued:
"These three doubts are not enough to deduce, first, why they did this; second, how far they intend to go? But now the second point has been answered. It seems that the people in this village intend to kill us all.
The collapse at the entrance of the tunnel was designed quite cleverly. It can be seen that this is not the first time they have done this; and the timing of the launch is still the most difficult moment for those who fall into the trap. When the collapse begins, if
If you want to leave from the entrance of the tunnel, normal people will not have time to rush through that distance. If you run hard, you will end up buried in the collapsed earth and rocks. But what if you choose another direction."
Lin didn't give in. While walking towards the depths of the mine, he continued: "Walking along the way, you can find that there is no food or even water inside the mine. So if you run inside at that time, you can save your life.
We have a small life, but we have to face the fate of lack of food and water, and we will die sooner or later. In other words, no matter what we choose, this is almost a fatal situation. But this is for ordinary people, the other party does not know that we have
With the flash technique, you can leave here easily."
"So, so." Halumi said anxiously, "Let's get out of here quickly. I'm worried about my sister's safety."
"Are you serious?" Lin rolled his eyes, looked at the worried and anxious blond girl and said, "Judging from the fact that the other party will attack us, they have no reason to let go of the carriage outside. And as long as they do it
I will definitely have a conflict with you sisters. But you and I have different views on whose safety needs to be worried more."
It was a very strong reason, and I felt that it was unnecessary to worry. However, Halumi still felt embarrassed and asked: "Then why don't we go out and help them? At least prevent them from dying."
"I don't want to." Lin curled his lips, looked at the still innocent girl with a disgusted expression, and said, "I am opposed to hurting innocent people, but it doesn't mean that I need to worry about their safety when they show such obvious malice.
.If we really have no ability to resist today and are tricked and killed by that group of people, who will sympathize with us? Besides, I didn’t ask you to contact your sister and ask her to go on a killing spree outside. They
Seeking death, I respect their wishes, is there anything wrong with that?"
"Are you taking advantage of my sister?"
When questioning the blonde girl, Lin changed his explanation and said: "In this situation, I wouldn't say it was taking advantage, because I was just watching the development of things and following the trend. I didn't ask the villagers to find you.
It's my sister's trouble, so whatever fate they get, it's not my fault."
"But...but..."
"There is nothing wrong with it. Everyone should be responsible for the consequences of what they do. This is also what I told you, think twice before doing anything. What are the risks and benefits, what is the success rate, and what is the success rate?
Are you able to bear the consequences? Think about all aspects and make sure it is feasible before you do it. If you do it, don’t regret it. Instead of being like you today, with your eyes covered and your ears covered, asking no one what you want to do.
Just do whatever you want. Then you get tricked. Everyone has their own thoughts, and everyone has their own calculations and actions. The world does not revolve around you, nor does it revolve around me. Things in this world do not
Whatever you want, whatever you think, is what it is."
"I can do it..." "What can I do!"
Interrupting Halumi's words, Lin said unceremoniously: "If I hadn't taken you away just now, those rocks would have pressed down, and any magic would have been useless. And regardless of whether I followed you or not, if you were lucky enough not to be
If you are crushed to death by a stone, do you have a way to leave on your own? Don't add to other people's troubles and troubles. If you hope others will treat you as an adult, you must at least do so."
The girls still wanted to defend themselves, but their teacher said impatiently: "For me, the reason for accompanying you in this commotion is because I am sure of saving my own life. Since I don't have to worry about my own life,
So there is only one question left that I am more curious about: what did they find, or what were they trying to cover up? Is there something that made these people want to protect even if they killed a magician? And the answer seems to be in this mine
